This criminal defendant may need to be jailed!

Donald #Trump could soon be strapped with an order limiting him in speaking publicly about the federal charges he is facing. But that won’t stop him from using his legal woes to galvanize voters on the campaign trail.

“I will talk about it, I will, they’re not taking away my First Amendment rights,” Trump said on Tuesday about his latest federal indictment, riling up a crowd at a campaign stop in Windham, N.H.

Keep in mind that there are two sides to this: an order preventing a figure from speaking also prevents the rest of us from listening.

So it's not just that Trump could be strapped with an order silencing him, it's also that the rest of us would be constrained in our ability to listen as well.
